S.P.A.M.

I LOVE SPAM. IT TASTES SO GOOD. ESPECIALLY, IT WAS GRILLED ON FRY PAN… HMMM. ITS CAN SAYS THE MEAT IS FROM PORK, BUT IT LOOKS VERY SUSPICIOUS. IN ONE EPISODE OF ‘HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER’, MR. ERIKSEN, MARSHALL’S FATHER CLARIFIED IT. SPAM IS FROM ALIEN.

E.T. TASTES SO GOOOOOD.

DEMOCRATEEK

‘DEMOCRATEEK’ IS FROM DEMOCRATIC AND TEE SHIRTS.

TEE SHIRTS ARE ALREADY KNOWN FOR BEING DEMOCRATIC SINCE EVERYONE WEARS THEM. BUT, STILL, IF YOU HAVE A BODY FOR MEDIUM SIZE, IT IS HARD TO WEAR SOMETHING ‘SMALL’ OR ‘X SMALL’.

AS YOU SEE IN THE PICTURE, THE PATTERN IS DIFFERENT FROM MODERN FASHION. IT IS FLAT. VERY FLAT. NECKLINE TO SHOULDER AND SHOULDER TO SLEEVE IS ONE STRAIGHT LINE. THIS IS A SECRET OF HOW MOMS IN KOREA CAN WEAR SAME HANBOK THEY BOUGHT FOR THEIR WEDDING EVEN THOUGH THEY GOT 3 SIZES BIGGER LATER. IRONICALLY, THE FLAT SHAPE MAKES THE FABRIC FLOW ALONG WITH YOUR BODY CURVE, THEY DON’T LOOK OUT OF SHAPE. BUT, THE CHOICE OF FABRIC MAKES YOU LOOK FLUFFY. YOU DO NOT WANT THAT. I WILL GET THERE LATER.

FLAT SHAPE IS GOOD FOR WHEN YOU GAIN A FEW POUNDS LATER. HOWEVER, THE ARMHOLE LINE DEFINES WHERE YOUR SHOULDER SHOULD BE, IT IS STILL LIMITED TO ONE GROUP WITH SIMILAR SHOULDER WIDTH. WHAT IF YOU HAVE BROADER OR NARROWER SHOULDER THAN SO CALLED ‘STANDARD SIZE’?
THEN, IT DOES NOT FIT YOU. AT LEAST, YOU FEEL LIKE YOU DON’T FIT IN.

ONE MORE THING

THE FABRIC.
마지막으로, 원단입니다.

I HAD TO USE MICROMODAL FOR ITS FINEST QUALITY AND GORGEOUS DRAPE NOT TO MAKE YOU LOOK FLUFFY.
I TRIED COTTON, RAYON, TENCEL, SOME CRAZY BLENDS… THEY DIDN’T FEEL RIGHT. BULKY, CHEAP HAND FEEL, TOO FRAGILE…
